The highly notable reaction of Seyyed Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi to the respectful denial issued by the Public Relations Office of the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic.

**Mr. Khoshvaght,**

**Greetings.**

The matter is very, very simple.

**A:** If his actions constitute the dissemination of falsehoods or if his deeds amount to defamation of the clergy—which is considered a crime for clerics—then the Special Deputy, the General Department of Intelligence of Qom Province, or the prosecutor should file a complaint against him with the relevant Special Prosecutor's Office for the Clergy.

**B:** If it is deemed not appropriate to take action, the Public Relations Office of the Supreme Leader's Office, or even Mr. Seyyed Masoud Khamenei at the Institute for the Publication of Works, could deny these statements in just two lines. Will they?
